Special Situations

There are special situations where sales and use tax is charged on something that may not be a material item, it may be a service or a rental. In these special situations there may be a special tax rate charged rather than the six (6%) percent sales and use tax rate.

For instance an 11½ percent tax is imposed on short-term passenger car and recreational vehicle rentals. Certain short-term truck rentals are subject to an eight (8%) percent tax.

There is a new alcohol tax rate of nine (9%) percent charged on the sales of alcoholic beverages. Frequently Asked Questions on Alcohol Tax. The new tax rate chart for alcoholic beverages.
